Haven't seen all the signings yet, but my son's team has 11 seniors this year....by far the most since he's been there. I don't think any of the previous years have had more than 5 or 6. That's a lot to replace. It's possible they'll start 7 seniors in the field....and also the top 3 guys in the running for DH are seniors
One of our in state schools signed 13 yesterday (1 for sure will be drafted & won't make it to campus). They currently have 40 listed on the roster with 3 seniors. As a parent, I'm just starting to monitor this stuff to give us an idea on schools etc.
I'm not sure 13-15 is all that unusual for Power 5 schools. Obviously less than that typically actually make it to campus.
I see PG list of commitments, but where can you see number of NLI signees by school?
Around 10-15 is pretty normal for most 4 years. Guys leave, graduate, or get cut.
our schools always had 40 or more in the fall, some would quit, some got asked to leave, and time redshirted to get down to the spring roster size
For 2019's school there are 13 commits listed as per PG. The school announced on Twitter that there were 9 signing NLIs.
There might be more, but at least 4 would be walk-ons.
P5 school. Should have 3 juniors (of 7) from the team drafted and another from their recruiting class.
UCONN had 46 players on their fall roster this year.
A few years back, I recall a couple of teams having 40 players signing.

That's not possible

A maximum of 27 team members in any one season may receive athletic money. Without athletic money an NLI is not required.

A good P5 will lose at least half their rising seniors to the draft.

D2 has different rules, though I'm not as well versed in them as D1. I know there is no minimum like the 25% in D1. Maybe a D2 school? I honestly don't know.
RJM - Often even if kids do stay at a P5 as a senior, they understand there may not be athletic money left as it is being utilized to bring in new players. All part of the deal in many cases.

D2's only have 9 scholly's.....doubtful they split that up 40 ways.....and even if they did to have 40 in one signing period is virtually impossible.

That was Vanderbilt. But they all got drafted.

The scholarships are guaranteed so the money will still be there, the coaches will just tell players they aren't going to make the team or see much playing time. At that point the player has a decision to make.
